The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has attacked Nasir El-Rufai, the former governor of Kaduna State, saying he is living up to the future he previously foresaw for others.
The APC criticized the former governor’s behavior in a brief statement posted on its official 𝕏 Twitter on Friday, comparing him to someone who blames others while neglecting their own shortcomings.
Mallam Nasir El-Rufai is currently living out a future that only he himself predicted. The APC implied hypocrisy in his conduct when it remarked, “El-Rufai, a stellar example of pointing one finger at others with four pointing back.”
The party also cautioned against paying much attention to people who talk loudly but don’t confront the hollowness that lies underlying their words.
The APC said, “Never take seriously people who speak with sound and fury that only cover the harrowing hollowness they carry within.”
El-Rufai, a founding member of the APC, reportedly stunned many when he joined the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in March 2025.
Meanwhile, former Jigawa State Governor, Sule Lamido, has described ex-President Goodluck Jonathan as the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) strongest option for the 2027 presidential election, calling on the party to make deliberate moves to bring him back.

Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Friday, Lamido said Jonathan remains the most viable candidate the PDP can present, given his experience, leadership record, and collaborative style.
Lamido said, “I think for PDP now, they should try and woo him; he is their best bet. To me, he is their best bet. Anybody put forth by the PDP, Nigerians will support him.”
According to sources, Lamido said that Jonathan’s lineage cannot be matched by any contemporary Southern PDP member.
“The PDP will win the presidency if the South is chosen. He questioned, “Is there anyone in the PDP right now who can compete with Jonathan in terms of being in office, being clear-headed, being a key player who values collaboration, and being someone who is willing to listen?”
He pointed out that Jonathan had previously served as the nation’s leader, was aware of the difficulties involved in running a government, and had cordial working relationships with a wide range of political players.
The former governor’s remarks coincide with ongoing rumors that Jonathan would rejoin the PDP and run for president in 2027.
